Next Meeting

Our next Scout Meeting will be on Monday the 8th of October from 7:00-8:30 at Grace Lutheran. 

Agenda

    - Finalize the details for the Popcorn sales reward pizza party/Recruitment Night.
    - Discuss options for winter activities.    - Start tracking Popcorn sales for each boy on a progress board.
    - Hand out Scouting binders to any who haven't received them yet.
    - Share what we have each found out about the menu and lodging for our MEA camp out.
    - Turn in completed leadership applications (for those with a troop position).
    - Work on each Patrol's yell, flag, and song.
    
Reminders 

-Popcorn sales have already begun. The sooner you get out to sell, the fewer the people that will have already bought from another scout.

-Don't forget to research your Patrol's area: Desert Eagles are planning the menu, Cobras are figuring out the lodging.

-Scoutmaster conferences will be scheduled for a Saturday, or Sunday afternoon/evening. If you are going on the MEA campout, there will be plenty of time there to get your scoutmaster conference done. If neither of those times work for you, you can contact Mike to set something else up.

-Boards of review are tentatively scheduled for the October 22nd Scout Meeting.

-Make sure you check your email for the Scout account summary if you haven't already.

-Check your calendars.
    -Are you available for next meeting (October 8th).
    -Are you available for MEA Weekend (October 19th-21st).
-Those who took the environmental science merit badge, and didn't finish the journal should talk to Mike to get the two new journaling locations OK'd, and get the journals DONE. Also don't forget to do the summary.

-If you have any ideas of what YOU would like to do in the next three months, please email me.

-Keep in mind that the Board of Review will be in a little less than TWO months, so if you don't know which requirements you have left, check you're book, and then get the requirements done. We're aiming for 90% troop wide rank advancement, and if we make our goal, we're going to have a reward party!
